A man may well be condemned, not for doing something, but for doing nothing.

Prayer is not a way of making use of God; prayer is a way of offering ourselves to God in order that He should be able to make use of us.

When we accept Christ we enter into three new relationships: (1) We enter into a new relationship with God. The judge becomes the father; the distant becomes the near; strangeness becomes intimacy and fear becomes love. (2) We enter into a new relationship with our fellow men. Hatred becomes love; selfishness becomes service; and bitterness becomes forgiveness. (3) We enter into a new relationship with ourselves. Weakness becomes strength; frustration becomes achievement; and tension becomes peace.

The only way to get our values right is to see, not the beginning, but the end of the way, to see things not only in the light of time but in the light of Eternity.

Real repentance means coming not only to be sorry for the consequences of sin but to hate sin itself.

The essential fact of Christianity is that God thought all men worth the sacrifice of his son.

We are chosen for joy. However hard the Christian way, it is both in the traveling and in the goal, the way of joy.
